Treating yourself to a blanket hoodie this winter is a great way to stay cosy and snuggly when working from home while helping to cut down on how much you need to put your heating on.

As well as investing in one for yourself, blanket hoodies also make fabulous gifts and they're usually one-size-fits-all, making it that bit easier to choose the right fit for your loved one. One thing’s for sure, the UK's craze for blanket hoodies isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. In fact, the uber comfy style is only getting better in 2023, with fresh designs made especially for travel, and chic long-lined numbers guaranteed to up your loungewear game. Nine temperature levels can take you from a little bit warm to totally toasty, and the nine timer steps range from 10 minutes to an hour and a half, meaning you can fall asleep in it without waking up a sweaty mess. And of course, for anyone worried, there is a three-year guarantee and built-in overheating protection.The secret to the super comfortable fit? It’s all down to the oversized shape of blanket hoodies. The best versions have generously wide sleeves, trapeze silhouettes or are poncho shaped to make them super easy to throw over anything: pyjamas, cashmere matching sets, you name it. Whether you’re looking for something to curl up in on the sofa or an insulating layer while working from home or crafting, this cosy piece is like your favourite hoodie, blanket and dressing gown rolled into one. For fans of camping, it's also a great addition to your kit if you have trips planned in cooler months. You haven’t completed your at-home staple wardrobe until you’ve invested in a blanket hoodie – it’s officially the comfiest item of clothing out there.

And, the one answer we all want to know – for is it really a dressing gown if it doesn’t get covered with tea stains and toast crumbs? – it is machine washable. Just make sure you remove all electronics first. Often unisex, you can also get kid-sized blanket hoodies, which are great if you want a matching family set.
